1. Corruptions

The Eye

At Sāvatthī.

“Mendicants, desire and greed for the eye,

ear,

nose,

tongue,

body,

or mind is a corruption of the mind.

When a mendicant has given up mental corruption in these six cases, their mind inclines to renunciation.

A mind imbued with renunciation is said to be fit for work regarding anything that can be realized by insight.”
